GOVERNOR GORDON, Of Georgia, must
be credited with bOldueSs and irmneSs OF
an unusual sort in dealing with the sys-
TEN of convict leases which has so long
disgraoed the administration of penal AZ
fairs in that State. In spite Of influence,
threats, and even personal attacks, he Car
ried through the long investigation which
hes proved the practice Of inhuman treat
e Of conviets, men and women, hired
ont to contractors under the lease system,
and has formally fixed the responsibility up
on the guilty persons. As an example and
a warning, the Governor has impOsedat fine
Of S. 600 upon the offending companies,
accompanied by notice that a forfeiture OF
their leases will follow a repetition Oftheir
conduct. This is the fust serious effort
that has been made to reform the wretched
abuses that have grown up under this sys-
TEN.

G~ERNIANY,s FuIURE.

The disease Of the Crown Prince Of Ger
many is malignant lancer and certain to
result fatally at q not very distant day.
This fact leads 70 the question Of the sue
cassor to the throne Of the Empire in the
event Of the death OF the aged and intrm
Emperor, who cannot live much longer.
4 year hence may find them both in the
spirit land. What then? Who comes to
the front OF this great empire as the con-
troller of its d~estinies? Prince FREDERICK
WILLIAM, the son of the Crown Prince,
ana VICTORIA, the eldest daughter Of the
Queen Of England. FREDERICK WILLIAM
is tweuty-aine, q bright aud promising
scion of his distinguished ancestry, and
possesses many characteristics which en-
dear hin to the people Of the empire,
sut-he is a mere boy. The other
powers of Europe do not look upon the
probability of his ascendency with the de-
gree of favor that seems to prevail in Ger
many.
The young prince is given the character
of a worshiper, and his god is his famous
ancestor, FREDERICK the Great. HeloOks
upon him as the grand hero and model OF
modern European history, and views with
especial pride his conqueSts Ovsr the allied
forces of Russia, Austria and France. 1t
is thought to be the hope Of the young
prince to lead the German armies once
more through Europe and bring back their
standard again covered with the glory OF
another FREDERICK.
The old Emperor has said that never, 10
his life, should a conflict come between
him and his close relative, the Car. The
Crown Prince, like his father, is p~eaceably
inclined, and, as Emperor, he would have
much preferred to have seen his people
engaged in building up their industrial
and educational institutions than striving
for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Germany, unlike most OF the European
poNers, has not advanced in democratic
ideas sufficiently to allow its people the
constitutional right of absolutely checking
the warlike spirit ola young emperor with
disposition to cause a Wholesale slaughter
in the hopes of winning fame for himself
and increased prestige for his empire. II
is by no means certain that the Germans,
as a whole, would not like to indulge just
such a sentiment, and that the young
prince would not become more popular by
advocating and leading such a move.
The world-the European world-lookS
with considerable anxiety in the direction
of EermanY's future.
